Hilux Manual

@thejavelin Thanks,I just knew SST was going to rear it's ugly head.Behold an SST was born
Unfortunately my longreach hex socket was not up to the task(split).Will have to get a 19mm impact socket

timing belt? or crank seal? or water pump?

I have sockets you can borrow if you like. Another easy way to crack the crank bolt is to use a long breaker bar, lay it against the underside of the drivers side chassis rail and flick the key for a second.

It would pay to disconnect the 12v feed to the injector pump first.

how come

You don't want the motor to start even for a split second

ive done more than i can remember i use to do it that way sometimes the engine started never had it cause any problems you just switch it off if you give it a quick flick it wont start now days tho ive got a special tool that loosens and tightens as well

Used to have one, gave it to my mate when I sold my ln106

I though the "Holy Hilux"'s never broke

Na just at 25years old it is coming up due for its first service

Ive rebuilt more than I can remember and used to use that method to remove the bottom pulley but had the motor start one day and tho only for a second the keyway on the bottom pulley let go resulting in a damaged crankshaft. What fun. I since made a tool consisting of a bottom pulley with a shaft welded to it that when bolted to the bottom pulley anchors against the chassis locking the pulley while the use of a decent bar undoes the pulley bolt. I made a simple gadget that allows the timing cover to be removed while the bottom pulley is still in place ,this made timing belt idler and tensioner replacement a 1 hour job instead of 3 hours.

/obviously mine wasnt a holy one after the wee irish prick murphys efforts with the slut on sunday.stillwe did get her back to CHCH .son&mates have contacts with plenty of spares so he reckons shell be up&about in 2-4weeks and can get her arse thrashed round CHCH before they bring her to arthurs for me to pick up.me travelled back to greymouth in the mrs mondeo.

Had to use a bit of sched 40 on the buster bar but the homemade SST did the job.wasn't game to try the key.

Thanks@ ROKTOY, I got most tools.Excessive blow by,missing at Idle,oil use through the roof and a smokescreen a naval frigate would be proud of when footing it,more black than blue?
